IMPORTANT: In both cases, the top surface of the mounting base (the flange) must be given particular attention and machined perfectly flat in order to accept the « O » ring seal of the RETRACT base flange and ensure perfect water tightness. The bolts fixing the RETRACT onto the mounting flange must be inserted from top to bottom. -

RAISE / LOWER POWER PACK INSTALLATION The Max Power raise/lower powerpack, ref. 313352, consists of a 1,1 kw 4 poles 3Ph 380/400V- 50HZ AC motor, a fixed displacement 6.2cc gear pump (flow 9 LPM) and a 30 lt vertical rectangular oil tank. The AC motor of the powerpack will need to be supplied by a switchboard and protected by a dedicated circuit breaker. -

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM INSTALLATION Hydraulic power system general A RETRACT R600 can take up to 200 LPM of hydraulic flow this will causes on a normal installation 250 bar pressure at the thruster’s inlet ports. NOTE variations of approximately 10% are possible depending on hull shape and immersion depth. -

Mounting the reservoir too low could result in oil draining back, or overflowing the tank. Be sure to allow enough space above the reservoir to service the filter. If the reservoir is not supplied by MAX POWER, then provide a return filter of 60 microns and a suction strainer. -

24 volts from the control box. Switching the thruster system ON is achieved by a two-pole 40A circuit breaker, which is located inside the R600 control box (ref. 636543, supplied by Max Power). CONTROL PANEL AND CONTROL BOX FUNCTIONS The R600 thruster unit has a mechanical lock, which must be disengaged before the thruster is used and reengaged when the thruster is no longer required. - Page 11 STEP 2 - ACTIVATE: PRESS ON/OFF BUTTON & PUSH JOYSTICK RIGHT FOR 1 SECOND After Activation When the lock is disengaged and the thruster is activated properly the LED light of the up\green button will be ON indicating that the thruster is in the up position and ready to be used. Down thruster movement Press down\red button to move the thruster to the down position.

MAX POWER recommends the use of for the power circuit. This mineral oil has already been used by Max Power during the run in tests and consequently the RETRACT motor and piping are already filled with this kind off oil. -
Page 13: After Launching
The transmission is already filled with oil at the time of delivery. Max Power uses HYPIOD HD 80W/90 oil in the transmission; therefore, fill the transmission lube oil header tank with similar grade oil. The function of this lubricant tank is to ensure a constant pressure, as well as a visual control of the oil-level. - Page 14 REMEDY: Check pressure. Consult hydraulic technician THIRD CAUSE: Propeller problem (plastic bag, rope, etc.) PROBLEM: The turbine retracts, but the alarm does not stop or the red light does not illuminate. PROBABLE CAUSE: An object such as a line, or other flotsam is caught between the closing plate and the hull.
